Hiking trails and Turkish nights among the best things to do in Cappadocia

Cappadocia “the land of beautiful horses”. When I visited Cappadocia I had already done my homework, so I knew I was going to a beautiful region with so much to offer. This just increased my curiosity about this gorgeous area. Scientists believe the entire city was a result of volcanic eruptions happened millions of years ago, although the human habitat in this remarkable lunar landscape that attracts thousands of tourists from across the world dates back to the 4th century. But alongside admiring the stunning landscape, what are the best things to do in Cappadocia? Here are some of our suggestions.

Things to do in Cappadocia

Walk through the Red and Rose Valleys

After days in Cappadocia in Turkey, we thought we had gotten used to natural beauty, but getting lost in the Red Valley and Rose Valley revealed a never-ending surprise. Our adventure around the Red Valley and Rose Valley in Cappadocia Turkey was probably the most satisfying for the eye and the most awe-inspiring.

Making Gozleme traditional style in Cappadocia, Turkey

Towards the end of our tour along the Ilhara Valley, my friends and I started feeling hungry and, although we were approaching lunchtime and restaurant, when we stopped for a short break we couldn’t resist the temptation of sampling some traditional food. We were happy to find local women making the traditional Gozleme filled with fresh cheese and veggies.

Turkish nights

One of the things to do in Cappadocia is experiencing eye-catching and spiritual dance. The last night we spent in Cappadocia was devoted to partying, namely to appreciate Turkish spirituality and dances, from the Sufi whirling dervishes inspired by Islam’s mystic and poet Rumi, to the inevitable belly dancer.

Below a sequence of another traditional Turkish dance in a show, definitely one of the things to do in Cappadocia. The dancer was excellent, she kept turning around for what felt like half an hour, her dress changing shape and finally colors. We were all enchanted.
